If you _really_ hate leftover `.gitkeep`, you can write a commit (or push) hook that rejects commits where `.gitkeep` isn't the only file in its directory. (more) |

A: What is a reasonable minimum for making a FOSS project inviting to contributors? Matthew's list is pretty good, although I don't think one has to do all the things on it as a "minimum." I offer one minimum and a couple nice-to-haves. Some of these I have learned as a contributor; some as a maintainer. Must Don't be a jerk When people engage with your project, don't be ... (more) |

> I'll definitely post them as answers instead.
Please do! Even if others answer the question later, it makes it easier for them to refer to your answer in a link if it already exists, rather than quoting text from the question that you may move to an answer later. (more) |

A: GnuTLS config for my own root CA, for use on internal server Does GnuTLS support CA Name Constraints (RFC 5280, 4.2.1.10), so you can limit the valid domains directly in the root CA? I'm not aware of any CAs that self-limit this way,[^moz] except for when the US government tried (unsuccessfully?) to get one approved by the CA/B forum for `.gov` and `.mi... (more) |

Possessing a good answer is not itself indicative of a good question. I have downvoted some questions where I upvoted the Asker's self-answer. _This_ question is too broad. (more) |

I don't know that you're going to get anything more helpful than the test you already did. You could trawl the Bash changelogs to see if they indicate that the behavior was ever different, but "absence of evidence is not evidence of absence." (more) |

A: Should a salt be stored in the same database as the hash? With bcrypt, the salt is stored in the same string as the hash. This is done so that you have everything you need to get that hash identifier if you know the password.[^pepper] Wikipedia breaks down the format: > ## Description > The input to the bcrypt function is the password string (up to ...

If the criteria for your log isn't expensive in its own right, you could just ask `git log` to stop after a certain number of commits are found. `-50` or something. (more) |

A: Git apply vs git am Each of them has an analog to another Git command. But instead of objects in the repository, these take text file(s) created either by you or someone else. `git apply` Think of this as Applying a `git stash` from a text file. Applies a delta to your worktree. It's nominally a Git-flavore... (more) |

That's crazy. I had one where the password entry screen had a _shorter_ length limit than the creation screen, so it didn't fit the password I had set. (more) |
